Extra Help |
One of the great things about Lowell is the flexibility of the modular schedule. I'm usually available to meet with students in room 334 for tutoring and extra help mods 9,10,13,14.
MATH TUTORING: In addition to meeting with me during my free mods, Math students have several options for free tutoring:
- Students can request a peer tutor from CSF in room 215.
- The Math club offers peer tutoring after school on Thursdays in room S-201.
- Math teachers are available all day in room 344 for tutoring.
- Tutoring with SF State Student Volunteers: See Brad Goya in T14 (Wellness Center) ext. 3030

This one semester course is a continuation of the concepts and principles
introduced in Computer Programming 1, using Java as the programming platform.
Topics covered will include classes, objects, arrays, dynamic memory allocation,
HTML, and an object-oriented approach to problem-solving and program
development. Students will construct both applets and standalone applications. Free Windows Java software is provided.
GRADE LEVEL: 10 - 12 PREREQUISITES: COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 1
COMPUTER SCIENCE - ADVANCED PLACEMENT 1 & 2:
This two semsester course sequence prepares students for the College
Board Advanced Placement exam in Computer Science. (note: the AP exam
will switch from C++ to Java for the 2003 - 2004 school year) Topics
covered will
include the APCS C++ classes, pointers, file handling, dynamic memory
allocation, analysis in the timing and efficiency of algorithms, linked
lists, stacks, queues, trees, searching, sorting, and recursion. Free Windows C++ software is provided.

GRADE LEVEL: 9 - 12 PREREQUISITES: None
ALGEBRA 2:
The second semester of the first year of algebra covers the study of polynomials, factoring, graphing and solutions of systems of equations or inequalities, operations on rational expressions, properties of exponents and radicals, the solutions of quadratic equations, probability and statistics, and elementary trigonometry.

Grading Policy |
In my computer classes grades for each six week marking period are based on a weighted average of quizzes (70%), assignments (20%) and class participation (10%) for that grading period. The class participation grade is a subjective grade based on your productive use of lab time. The semester grade is the average of the three six week marking period grades and the final exam.
In my algebra class, the grade for each six week marking period is the average of the test grades for that marking period. Homework is collected every test day and missing homework may have a negative effect on that test grade. The semester grade is the average of the three six week marking period grades and the final exam.

Attendance |
Timeliness and regular attendence are critical. Citizenship is based primarily on tardies and/or class cuts as well as in-class behavior. 3 tardies in a 6 week period results in an W. Any cuts result in a U. |
